DANCE HALL CRASHERS - LOCKJAW (1995)
Oh Shelley
Oh shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me
What are you doing? It's been too long, I never even see you
What are you doing? You're a different girl but I don't know who
What are you doing? Fall asleep and disappear for days
What are you doing? Come back flying in a total haze
I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace
of the past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope tht this won't last
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me
What are you thinking? I suspect you're losing it for good
What are you thinking? Promise I would save you if I could
What are you thinking? I probably don't even wanna know
What are you thinking? Please just say goodbye befor you go
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I can't seem to believe how your little obsession
Has you by the throat and has you running blind
I find that in the end you're just a big old..
I can't seem to believe how you keep on clutching
With all your might to your nickles and dimes
I find that in the end you're just a big old bore
And I never wnated more thatn just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I'd always thought that we had the same goals
But now I know what you're after
You'll do anything to get what you want
and there's nothing that wouldn't put past you
It's pathetic to see how uptight you can be
When things don't all go your way
I can't seem to remember when you first began to
Start this shit
And tried to mess with my mind
I find that in the end you're just a big old..
I can't seem to recall why years have gone by
And you're still the same
You stayl trailing behind and I find that in the end
You know you're a big old bore
Who wished that she'd had more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Wonder why they think about
What they can get from me
I guess I'll let em believe
Whatever it is they want to see
I know it's sick
I hope it's only paranoia
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Admit it's not all bad
It's almost like a real cheap high
Till you get knocked on your ass
Thinking you can fly
Suppose it's something that you learn before you die
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Gotta get away
She goes into her room
And turns off all the lights
Gets a candle from her drawer
Pulls the curtain and then locks the door
It's the same old thing she wants to be alone night after night
Got herself into a mess doing what she loves the best
Flyin to avoid the rest
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything
Try to tell her what I see
and how I thind her mind's
Dying slowly day by day - but she only smiles and turns away
Doesn't wanna have to justify herself to anyone
Why do people nag her when she's only trying to have some fun
Flyin up twords the sun
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
Years went by and still
She claimed to be in control
Try to grab her on the way down - missed her hand and had to watch her
drown
Even at the end her eyes were open but she couldn't see
The beauty of the world or at least what she had ment to me
Why did she fly away
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
I guess your friends are just as fooled ad you
and you talk and talk but you aint doing nothing
You said that in all the world there were
only teo things you dispised
The first was a coward and the second one was a liar
Forgot to add hypocrite to your little list of how to run your life
I guess your friends are just as fooled ad you
and you talk and talk but you aint doing nothing
Well I say I lead my life with a well mannered state of mind
I say I like to keep moving forward and be held by no binds
You may call me ambitious, but I don't see
houw ther's any other way to be
Cause a day is a lifetime if you'll only sweep your problems away
I guess your friends are just as fooled ad you
and you talk and talk but you aint doing nothing
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
And go do something new
If I've asked before, then turn around and shut the door
The answer I don't want to know
If I've asked before, then tell me to go home
I think it's probabley time that I should go
If only it would get better, I'd smile as if I felt it
Althought if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I mihgt just bury you alive
And go do something new
It doesn't matter if you tell the truth
It doesn't seem to pay off when it comes the time
It doesn't matter if you're clean or if your soul is black
They believe that youare kind
If only it would get better, I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I mihgt just bury you alive
And go do something new
Then I thaught that we had reached an understanding
Wouldn't find coal at the bottom of the stocking
Instead you swung it at my head and nearly knocked me dead
Thought about it while I sat there thinking just bled
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless your not quite done,
then go on and have more fun
I often think about the way that I will watch you die
It's kind of creepy, but I'm looking forward to it
I'll probably try to linger over it a little while
You will fall down on your own knofe and I'll just smile
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless your not quite done,
then go on and have more fun
Two can play is rally all that I have left to say
Your edge is getting dull
Is nearing time to sharpen
Get a mirror so that you can see what's gonna be
Afraid it's gonna look like untimely death to me
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless your not quite done,
then go on and have more fun
Waited too long
Now this is really wrong
Try to run - can't get away
Now it's just too late
It's getting late and I'm killing time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy and find a way to lose
You by all the things I say
Want you to go away
When I close my eyes all I can see
Is the fire in front of me
I try to turn, don't wanna stay
But I can't seem to get away
From the things that scare me most about you
All of what you say and do
Try not to squirm when I feel your touch
I just know that I care too much
Waited too long
Now this is really wrong
Try to run - can't get away
Now it's just too late
It's getting late and I'm killing time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy and find a way to lose
You by all the things I say
Want you to go away
It's getting late and I'm killing time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy and find a way to lose
You by all the things I say
Want you to go away
It's been 10 years since I left my house and
wandered off without you
Has it been that long?
It's really been that long
And in the back of my mind, I still hear you
Calling to me, shouting to me, grabbing my attention
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
You say you feel trapped and do not see
an answer to the problem
I say you gotta get out
Just get up and get out
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying...
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be
what you make it...
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
And you come to me with propositions
like you really mean them
Well I've heard them before
So many times before
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying...
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be
what you make it...
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
Well its's been a long long time and I've realized my crime
I wanna leave it up to you
But you never seem to come through
Why don't you finish what you start
before this whole thing falls apart
You know I'm beginning to think
that you dorve me to drink
Not that I'm placing blame
but you're giving me a bad name
Why won't you eer let this die,
you can see how hard I've tried
I guess its time to say,
Fuck Off I'm gone after today
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
I never thought this would be such a nightmare
get over your bad self, I don't... I don't really care
I don't... I don't really care
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
Just shut up and make it right
Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long
I stare at the clock
It doesn't move, no not all
The work day is so long
Like a night of insomnia
Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long
So I shut my eyes and fantasize
about anything that 'll come to mind
To more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize about all the
really horrendous things I could be doing
I shut my eyes and fantasize -
there better be more than this
is this a really bad joke
I could be out right now doing all the really
horrendous things I've been imagining
It couldn't possibly be so boring
Friday, only one more day
To endure this tendiousness
The clock won't move at all
So I wat and I wait
Sometimes the days seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long
So I shut my eyes and fantasize about
anything that 'll come to mind
The more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize
about all the horrendous things I could be doing
It couldn't possibly be so boring
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
I don't know why you thought we would try
To clean up our mess - I guess you're suing so we
confess
Yeah, we left the dirty matress in the doorway but we
could not get it through
Yeah, two windows did get broken, but by the two
dealers who were looking for you
I don't think you just what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
I heard you had a mind to sue
Is the rumor true? I guess it is - the joke's on you
You can have my 8 track player and the Stevie Wonder
record I just bought
I could probably dig up some old Shonen Knife, but it's
really all that I've got
I don't think you knowjust what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
I don't know who thought that I would do well with a
credit line
First it was a stereo, then a snowboard and a phone
Finally found a new guitar, put some money down on a car
Next gig aint for seventh weeks, holy hell I'm up a creek
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
I don't know where it all goes, guess it was the job I choose
Gone a week and late on rent, my landlord is always bent
You'd think I could save a dime, working alway, all the time
Wanna quit but I don't know, oh we owe, we owe, we owe,
we owe
I don't know where it all went, haven't got a single cent
Took my car away from me, now I'm riding RTD
Cut my card up yesterday, guess it's the price I pay
Got a new one in the mail - look at me settin sail
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
